Chapters of Bible Study A Popular Introduction to the Study of the Sacred Scriptures

"Chapters of Bible Study" by Herman J. Heuser is a late 19th-century guide that introduces readers to studying the Bible by treating it as a historically important set of writings. Heuser's approach encourages viewing the Bible not just as a holy book but as a collection that captures the knowledge and rules of an old society. He argues that reading the Bible is like going through a key document from history, looking at its age, if it’s real, and what it contains. By stressing the need to know the history behind the moral codes and stories of the Hebrew people, Heuser urges readers to look at the Bible closely. This careful study, he suggests, will reveal the deep impact of the Scriptures on both culture and individual growth, just as one would study any important piece of writing.
